Can anyone recommend a cheapish 'loose' fitting tyre around 32c if that is a thing? I bought some budget touring wheels that came with Ryde rims, tyre fit is unbelievably tight. Googling Ryde it seems to be a common issue. I can get the tyre on but the bead gets stuck under the hook and wont pop out even with silly PSI and plenty of bead lube, currently got bontranger hardcase. Thanks

Have you tried a tyre seating tool such as this? A friend ended up buying one for a particularly stubborn rim/tyre combo that neither of us could get to work any other way. It worked really well, the only issue is that you have to carry an extra tool in your puncture repair kit.

Cool thanks, I haven’t tried one but I know someone that has something similar , might be worth trying but as you say more concerned about getting it on and then getting caught out , especially as it’s the girlfriends bike !
